Chakra Party is a series of seven geometric compositions. Each piece is built around a secret seal from the Sumerian initiatic zodiac-chakra system, a rigorous philosophical and psychological framework for understanding human life.
The seals are the structural armature, embedded within geometric compositions that draw from multiple sacred and hermetic schools across different periods and cultures. The title reflects this: a party is an encounter, and this series brings traditions into dialogue that were not meant to meet, a conversation across time, across regions, across schools.
The pieces are named not for the chakras themselves but for the human trait that emerges when that energy is balanced: Prosperous, Joyful, Disciplined, Connected, Expressive, Intuitive, Creative. Each work proposes a different balance, drawn from the inner tensions each trait resolves.
Chakra Party brings to light a different worldview, rooted in animist principles, offering fresh air to a contemporary art landscape that is often chaotic and cynical.
Each piece exists as a large-format original on aluminum and as an audiovisual work: a geometric animation paired with original songs in pop-tribal rhythms, translating the visual concept into sound and movement.
